EVAL5973AD: 3.3V @ 2A, 4.4 ~ 36Vin (25V Board)

Summary

The L5973AD is a step down monolithic power switching regulator capable to deliver up to 2A at output voltages from 1.235V to 35V.

The operating input voltage ranges from 4.4V to 36V (the eval board is limited to 25V due to the input capacitor). It is realized in BCDV technology and the power switching element is realized by a P-Channel D-MOS transistor. It doesn’t require a bootstrap capacitor, and the duty cycle can range up to 100%.

An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at 500KHz. This minimizes the LC output filter. Synchronization pin is available in the case higher frequency is requested.

Pulse by pulse and frequency foldback overcurrent protections offer an effective short circuit protection.

Other features are voltage feed forward, protection against feedback disconnection, inhibit and thermal shutdown.
